Pros

Pro

Simple rules but plenty of strategy to be found

The rules of the game are pretty easy to learn but it is underlying strategy of what decks to build and what playstyles to use that make the game so strategic.

Pro

Unique idea for game mechanics

No mana, play two cards per turn to level them up and increase their power, every four turns the deck is reshuffled to include the leveled up cards.

Pro

Active and awesome community

Small community, but very active and dedicated to the survival of this game.

SolForge has cross platform accounts, making it easy for users to load up the game on their preferred device and log into their account with all of their progress.

Pro

High quality art

The art gets its inspiration from WoW and HoMM and is quite high quality. Definitely a pleasure to look at.

Pro

Different game modes

There's so much to do in the game - Mazes for farming, Arena for PVP and rankings, Raids for stealing other players' currency, and more.

Pro

Shuffled deck allows for more strategy

By forcing the player to use a shuffled deck the most powerful cards may not be able to be used at first. This means the deck needs to me more balanced overall as well as the player needs to be more watchful of the opponent's plays to counter adequately.

Pro

Four different factions

There are four different factions the player can build their decks with, Faen, Humans, Neanders and Mortii. Though most factions work best when using them and them only.

Cons

Con

May feel pay to win

Collecting cards in the game can be difficult as no single card can be purchases, you can only get cards in packs that either cost real money or earned in game currency, which takes time and grinding to earn. This is exasperated by the fact that there is no secondary market where people can sell cards.

Con

Developer has given up

Almost shut down 3 months ago, now the guy running the community is the only one doing anything

Con

Few players

Very few play this game.

Con

Some cards too difficult to obtain without paying

Even though the game is free to play, some cards are pretty much locked behind a paywal, forcing serious players to eventually spend real money on the game if they want to compete.
